Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? Frans De Waal. The claims of what make us different from other animals (e.g., the ability to understand the past and future) have been eroded or disproven by the study of animal cognition. Based on research involving crows, dolphins, octopuses, parrots, sheep, wasps, bats, whales, chimpanzees and bonobos, De Waal opens our minds to the ideas that animal minds are far more intricate and complex than we have assumed.
